  • LG TVs and monitors said to surveil users and install bloatware without asking

    Jump

  • Not impossible, several options are still out there if you actually search for "non smart TV" on retailers' websites.

    Sceptre was one brand that made decent non-smart TVs but they seem to be vanishing off the market now. Many used ones still on ebay and other secondhand markets. Their website still shows a bunch of TV models but the retail links turn up empty.

  • Elon Musk’s Colossus 2 data center installed 59 natural gas turbines without permission, report claims — thousands of tons of pollutants reportedly impact black communities in Mississippi already suff

  • About 40% of Mississippi voters voted for Kamala Harris. Additionally, about 38% of the state's residents are black.

  • I've heard enough about Nextdoor that I never want to have an account for their site

  • Yes the far-right astroturfing is becoming very blatant lately. I've noticed a recent worsening trend

  • Indiana Man Allegedly Cuts Off Penis, Sets It on Fire With Gasoline and Lighters, Police Say

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

    Jump

  • Nope I have zero concerns about "ghost guns" because the people with 3D printers are usually not in poverty, and poverty is the root cause of most crime. And because of how many already manufactured guns are in circulation, it's like a drop in an ocean.

  • Meta Patents AI Device That Tracks Your Emotions, Watches You Take Your Meds

    Jump

  • That much Big Brother spying activity is not necessary to achieve a similar goal. Combine a smart cap for pill bottles with an alarm reminder system. Smart pill bottle cap can show if the bottle has been opened that day or some such type of simple usage tracking. Alarm on the phone or watch, and/or something like that on their refrigerator for reminders.

  • I think this is the microphone spies coming out in the open. Google recently filed some similar creepy tech patent if I recall correctly. It's the same scheme of recording all audio all day, and they would offer you a list of important things to remember or notes on the day.

    I never believed in the past when the nay-sayers denied that them listening to our device's microphones all day was feasible. I'd already seen too many instances of the audio spying being used to direct ad content to people. They are voice-printing us all from every available audio source. They already know when you say something in the presence of someone else's phone.

    People really have to break these chains of phone addiction, and just allowing them to do what they want on our phones.

  • Journalists float astonishing theory around silence surrounding Mitch McConnell’s health

    Jump

  • "302 senators have died in office in the past" ... really shows how the Senate has too many old bastards staying in office too long. They should be retired while they fade away into death, instead of making important decisions for the country that they will never have to worry about the consequences of.

  • To beat the heat, I installed a custom AC on my lawn tractor.

  • I've done this with another brand of 18v battery fan. But I used a couple of bungee cords to strap it down to the hood, stays on through bumps and hills.

    The only drawback is when you pilot the mower through a cloud of dust and it blows in your face

  • Meta is adding ridiculous ‘rate limits’ and a soft paywall to its smart glasses

  • Put them down next to a turd so that the camera can only see the turd

  • Mike Johnson tells conservatives ‘I run the protection program’ to protect Trump

    Jump

  • That sounds like a confession of committing a criminal conspiracy

  • America’s data-centre backlash puts the AI boom at risk. Opposition is spreading across the country

    Jump

  • The "AI boom" concept doesn't make sense to me. What do they think we need the "AI" for? I find that I don't need it for anything, and as I'm "being left behind" without using it, I still wonder what they think I should need it for.

    In my experience the "AI" chatbots are useful for people who don't know how to do anything. But I've spent my life learning how to do everything I ever wanted to learn how to do, so I just don't need that.

  • Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pins

    Jump

  • Here's the larger problem: other people will have this bullshit turned on and the microphones will receive the speech audio of everyone in their vicinity. It's fully breaking consent to be recorded for others.

    I do not care what they might say about "listening only to the owner" or whatever they will claim. If it's recording with a microphone, then it will receive sound.

    Jump

  • Big Brother Google is always listening, and probably would sell anything they've recorded to make a buck.

    Maybe a lot of people in 2-party consent required jurisdictions should write in to google to state that they explicitly decline to consent to being recorded by google's bullshit

  • Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users

  • That sucks and all, but I'm glad I don't need any apps or a cellphone to use my car. Offline car is best.

    Lynch really made the Harkonnens appropriately horrific, better than the new movies in this and some other aspects IMO.
